Synapto-p. Hluorin Fusion protein comprised of VAMP 2/synaptobrevin - GFP (luminal domain) Developed by Miesenbock et al (98) Vesicular uptake is powered by V-type H+ATPase 2; p. H ~ 5. 5 GFP is p. H sensitive (p. Ka = 7. 1) 97% of GFP fluorescence is quenched in SV Some forms permit ratiometric quantification
